Stories from the Olympics and Paralympics
Manage episode 434563654 series 3458149
“For the first two editions (1896 and 1900), participation in [the Olympics] Games was literally a prize in itself.” In this episode I am sharing a few stories or background to a few women who competed in the Olympics and a few who will compete in the upcoming paralympics and the honor of just getting there. I share about two pregnant women who competed in the olympics, an archer and a fencer Also an 58 year old woman who also made it to the Olympic in table tennis, a dream of hers since she was 16. Then I share a little about 3 women who will compete in the paralympics. Kim Crosby, McKensie Coan and Julia Gaffney. Women overcoming great odds to compete at this level. Pretty cool their backstories.
